Line 187:
Syndrome is half an obsessive [[Stalker with a Crush]] whose life has centered around one-upping Mr. Incredible ever since his rejection, half a kid who wants to play [[Superhero]] a little too realistically. There is no reason for him to want to make everyone in the world Super—either for altruistic reasons, as his [[Misaimed Fandom]] has mistakenly concluded, or for evil reasons. ''He himself admits,'' "When everyone's Super, ''no one will be...''" What is the connection between such a plan and every other facet of his character?
When Xerek was cut and Syndrome was promoted to [[Big Bad]], Syndrome's revenge plot was promoted likewise. That's why Pixar randomly left in that one line—which is never set up, never explored, and [[
* He regretted being a superhero fan in his youth. He still has all the fanatic tendencies that made him a fan, but it's only natural that he would destroy the superhero fandom that frustrated him. Plus, it doesn't require any strong justification; it is one of the few parts of his plan that would actually help people and make the world a better place.
* The 'No-one will be' part could be a [[Take That]] at Mr Incredible for (at least in Syndromes' mind) saying he is not a super. In effect, it would leave Mr Incredible and his family just like everyone else for the rest of their lives, with not even any powers to make themselves unique. Besides, the line is hinted at beforehand (See the page quote on the main page).
